You have to get a decent bluetooth adapter so it can transfer the data at the correct rate. Don't just get a cheapy one

yeah mine updates every half a second so it can be a little annoying it depends what you going use it for really. if you want something permanent then buy a scangauge
for £10 its not the end of the world if you end up buying a better one

I use the toque app on my galaxy note, the adapter is of eBay cost 19.99.... Works a treat! It's best when used with GPS as it maps your journeys shows you speeds and consumption, when you at optimum temp, air intake temps, etc etc.... You just need to be lucky getting a cheep dongle, it's far more versatile than the scan gauge and far less obtrusive. I love the new video option, it's like an Indiana jone style effect overlaying your HUD! :d just make sure you set it up.... Give yourself time to tune it to your car.

That's good to know as I have the Samsung TV, also known as the 'Galaxy Note'
